The Monte Brasil Signal Post, in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira, is a historical and geological landmark. Initially used as a lookout with bonfires, it evolved into a semaphore post since 1583. It offers incredible views of Angra Bay and the Monte Brasil volcano. The site, with traces of previous structures, includes a visual communication system with balloons and streamers, being a unique representation of its type in Portugal.

At the top of Monte Brasil there is a wonderful view of the beautiful city of Angra. For the sea view you have to go to another summit.

Monte Brasil

Highlight • Volcano

Great hike from the city, up passing the army base and taking any of several paths to the two peaks - both worth a visit for tremendous views. Don’t miss the caldera and beautiful green crater. Lovely little volcano!
